Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.

- Add documenting comments
- Fix metrics and stats reporting
- Fix a tracepoint sparse warning

Commits ffb6ca33b04b and e08ea3a96fc7 prevent setting xprt_min_resvport
greater than xprt_max_resvport, but may also break simple code that sets
one parameter then the other, if the new range does not overlap the old.
Also it looks racy to me, unless there's some serialization I'm not
seeing. Granted it would probably require malicious privileged processes
(unless there's a chance these might eventually be settable in unprivileged
containers), but still it seems better not to let userspace panic the
kernel.
Simpler seems to be to allow setting the parameters to whatever you want
but interpret xprt_min_resvport > xprt_max_resvport as the empty range.

We don't need to call this in the direct, read, or pnfs resend paths and
the only other caller is the write path in nfs_page_async_flush() which
already checks and sets the pg_error on the context.

We must check pg_error and call error_cleanup after any call to pg_doio.
Currently, we are skipping the unlock of a page if we encounter an error in
nfs_pageio_complete() before handing off the work to the RPC layer.

Clean up: fill in or update documenting comments for transport
switch entry points.
For xprt_rdma_allocate:
The first paragraph is no longer true since commit 5a6d1db45569
("SUNRPC: Add a transport-specific private field in rpc_rqst").

To show that a caller did attempt to allocate and post more Receive
buffers, the trace point in rpcrdma_post_recvs() should report when
rpcrdma_post_recvs() was invoked but no new Receive buffers were
posted.

Running "./nfstest_delegation --runtest recall26" uncovers that
client doesn't recover the lock when we have an appending open,
where the initial open got a write delegation.
Instead of checking for the passed in open context against
the file lock's open context. Check that the state is the same.

Clean up: rb_flags might be used for other things besides
RPCRDMA_BUF_F_EMPTY_SCQ, so initialize it in a generic spot
instead of in a send-completion-queue-related helper.

The newly introduced gss_seq_send64_fetch_and_inc() fails to build on
32-bit architectures:
net/sunrpc/auth_gss/gss_krb5_seal.c:144:14: note: in expansion of macro 'cmpxchg'
seq_send = cmpxchg(&ctx->seq_send64, old, old + 1);
^~~~~~~
arch/x86/include/asm/cmpxchg.h:128:3: error: call to '__cmpxchg_wrong_size' declared with attribute error: Bad argument size for cmpxchg
__cmpxchg_wrong_size(); \
As the message tells us, cmpxchg() cannot be used on 64-bit arguments,
that's what cmpxchg64() does.

Clean up: This code was copied from xprtsock.c and
backchannel_rqst.c. For rpcrdma, the backchannel server runs
exclusively in process context, thus disabling bottom-halves is
unnecessary.

If we're revalidating an existing dentry in order to open a file, we need
to ensure that we check the directory has not changed before we optimise
away the lookup.
